No, not our war. Israel can handle itself and does need or want our help. We lost enough troops in foreign combat.

Please go back and re-read my post. The blood is on our hand already. May as well just get it done right like how we did in Iraq - oh, just FYI, we screwed up that one too.

More lives will be saved by ending this war than by keeping it going. Hamas will not stop until they are defeated. That is clear.

Oh good grief! BECAUSE Canada and Mexico aren't lobbing rockets into American cities, that's why. You got the cart placed in front of the horse again.

Refugee camps? You have seen those pics of Palestinian high rises with nice awnings over the balconies and courtyards have you not? Where in those pic's are the tents and lean-to housing of refugee camps?

Questions here: if over 30 tunnels have been found to date that you could easily drive an SUV through and required mega-tons of concrete to build why is the only purpose they're put to shipping weapons and kidnapping Israelis? Could not those tunnels into their neighbours territory also be used to bring in food medicines, ambulances, needed infrastructure and also allow so-called Palestinians who wish to leave, an exit. Oh wait, redundant question, if so-called Palestinians left they'd be unable to use the victim screech. They'd also need somewhere to go. Since no other ARAAAAB country will have them....geee, I guess they should suck it up and sue for peace, eh?

I find it a bit strange that in a land where tunnels have been used militarily since at least the time of Alexander the Great that seismic activity wasn't being monitored by the IDF and that such large tunnels were allowed to be completed.

Sounds like some BS being put out on those tunnels.

What age is a child to you? There are 1000's of photos online of Palestinian children throwing rocks and molotov cocktails. There are 1000's of photos online of Palestinian children in Gaza marching and practicing with real rifles. This is the reality Hamas & Fatah portrays.

Gotta love the pro-Israel bias on threads like this. Despite the current existence of Hamas-built underground tunnels, there actually hasn't been an incident of Palestinian suicide attacks in Israel since 2008.

Why commit suicide when you can do it by remote control?

Sounds like fighting the way Grandpa did? If the population is supporting a evil regime, make them bleed till they stop or the regime is done.... Curt Lemay had it right when he firebombed Tokyo!
